THROUGH NIAGARA,s RAPIDS.
A Wagon Maker Makes the Trip In
Lifeboat of His Own Invention.

a wagon MAKER makes the Trip In q
Lifeboat of His Own Invention.
BUFFALO, Aug. 2S.-Charles Alexander
Percy of Suspension Bridge, a young man
twenty-seven years old and by trade wagon
maker, carriage trimmer and painter, made
a safe trip through the Whirlpool rapids
to-day in lifeboat built by himself and up
on the construction of which he has been en-
gagged the past summer. The boat is seven
teen feet long with air-chair chambers at
either end, in one of which Percy made the
voyage. 1t is rugged with seat, though SO
that the navigator can strap himself in it
and travel outside if he wishes The keel is
weighted with 240 pounds of iron and bags
of sand carried in the hold so that it will
right itself. An iron weight attached to
long rope travelled from the stern
SO as to keep to boat straight
ahead. Though it keeled in
threatening manner the craft rode the break
ers and great waves without once upsetting.
The sight was pretty one to those on shore.
After entering the whirlpool basin Percy
came out and rowed ashore. His object is
not for glory, he says. The journey was
simply experimental and the boat having
come throu5h all right he will now model
ifeboat on a large scale from it and ask for
patent. The strangest part of the matter
is that Percy has no practical knowledge of
boat building. His work was done in secret
and no one but his brother had been allowed
to see the boat until to-day when is was
launched

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS

To Cost Five Thousand Dollars to be
Made In the First Baptist Church.
The Organ to be One of the Finest I'm
the City-A New BaPtistry and Choir
Gallery.
Quite extensive improvements are being
made in the First Baptist church, Wooster
Square. They will be completed in about
two weeks and will cost in the neighborhood
of So, 900.
The work has arrived at such an advanced
state of completion that correct idea of the
improvements can be given. The sexton of
the church, Mr.. Carl Schulteriss, kindly
showed a reporter through the church last
evening. It has been closed since the middle
of June. The east end of the church has
been SO altered that the parishioners of the
Rev. Wallace H. Buttricks, the pastor, will
hardly recognize it. Where the base of the
organ formerly was, there is handsome and
eapacious open baptistry. 1t is somewhat
similar in design to the one in the Calvary
Baptist church. Il is finely done in ash and
with black walnut trimmings. The coping is
of the finest of white marble. On its face is
inscribed

THE ELM CITY TO MYSTIC ISLAND.

The steamer Elm City will make another
of her pleasant and highly enjoyable trips to
Mystic Island on Thursday next. The last
trip to the island was an unusually delight
full one. A correspondent says: On such day
as last Thursday Mystic Island is certainly
beautiful spot, not SO much in itself, but
for its surroundings. Across the blue,
white-capped water lays the little village of
Noank glistening in the sun; further on lies
Stonington with its fleet of yachts and ves-
sells in harbor. Then comes Watch Hill;
then across is Fishers Island, and in the
distance lies the town Mystic. Steam
ers run to the island every day from Noank,
Westerly, Stonington, New London and
Norwich, and the place which until the last
two years was neglected is now, under the
present management, a very popular resort

NO DECISION ARRIVED AT.

The Moses Mendelssohn Lodge Hold
a Lively Meeting But DO Not Sever
From the Grand Lodge What a
Member Says.
The members of Moses Mendelssohn lodge
No. 13, o. K. S. B., held their regular meet
ing last night in the COURIER building. There
was one important question on which they
expected to vote-whether or not they should
secede from the Grand lodge, but they adj
journed shortly after 10 O'Clock without hav-
ing taken action. The matter will be brought
up at the next regular meeting next Sunday
night. The meeting was in every way a
most animated one. The rumpus has been
stirred up because the Grand lodge recently
voted that three ffths of the sinking fund of
each subordinate lodge should be paid into
the Grand lodge treasury. The Mendelssohn
lodge has q sinking fund of 81, 500 and some
of the members objected to paying part of
this into the Grand lodge treasury. There
seems to be a division in the lodge, some of
the members thinking that with few more
members to bring the membership up to one
hundred they can prosper as lodge without
the jurisdiction of the Grand lodge, while
others are of different opinion. A member
said last night after the meeting that there
were few who were aggrieved at some
things the Grand lodge had done and wanted
to be avenged and SO took this method of
trying to breed discomfort amongst all the
members of the Mendelssohn lodge by hav-
ing them secede from the jurisdiction of the
Grand lodge. He thought there was no
doubt that they would come around all right
and that the lodge would not break the
bonds as they now are. The affair has Gre
ated great deal of discussion amongst the
members

ATrue Temperance advocate.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Rev. Alvah Hoyey, D. D., president of the
Newton Theological Institute, near Boston,
has rendered an important public service by
two articles which appeared in the Baptist
Quarterly Review and have also been issued
in ten cent pamphlets, on Bible wine, and
particularly the wine of the Eucharist. These
pamphlets may be obtained at the Office of
the Baptist Review association, No. Murray
street, New York city, but it is to be hoped
that our book and periodical dealers will
have them on their counters. They should
have large sale. DR.. Hovey is eminently
qualified to furnish information on the sub
ject, and the Christian Intelligencer justly
remarks that he '*sets forth the truth kindly
and convincingly." He finds in the Bible no
support for what is known as the two-wine
theory, which was first preached about fifty
or sixty years ago, nor for the recent notion
that Christ gave to his disciples simple grape
juice in the cup of the Eucharist. In regard
to the wine of the Passover he gives full in
formation derived from the post-Biblical
Jewish literature He says that 'his sympa.
thies are heartily with the active friends of
temperance, and it is natural to fear that
some of them will count him an enemy for
stating to them what he believes to be the
truth. But course of painstaking inqui-
ry, extending over several years, has brought
MN 10 conclusions "hlcn, IL Is HoPeo, nlay
be explained without offence to any just
man." He has the scholars of this country
and of Europe with him, and if his exposi-
ton is not widely circulated the public will
fail of valuable instruction. Certainly no
one who undertakes to be a public teacher
should have to confess that he has not placed
Dr. Hovey's pamphlets in his library along
with those of DIR. Jewett, DIR. Bumstead and
DIR. Moore. Such pamphlets become scarce
after time, and then many are found eager
ly inquiring for them. S. G. B.
